Prohibits institution of higher education from giving preferential consideration for admission to legacy student.

This New Jersey bill (S 3370) prohibits colleges and universities from giving admission advantages based on a student's "legacy status," defined as having a family member who attended the same institution. It also bans preferential treatment for applicants connected to donors of the institution. The law applies to all higher education institutions in New Jersey and takes effect immediately. It directly affects admission decisions for students with family ties to alumni or donors.
